Comment (by flixos90):

 [attachment:32399.diff] looks good to me.

 I'm a little worried about the code there getting more and more complex
 with more of these (necessary) changes going in. I wonder whether we
 should introduce a general function to deal with creating the arrays of
 links that are so commonly used in the backend.
 It could be a function `get_admin_status_links( $link_data )` (let's find
 a better name though) where `$link_data` is an associative array where
 each key is the link identifier and each value is an array containing data
 for the actual link element (`href` and `label` at least). The logic to
 transform that data into a link element string could be handled in that
 function, and changes like those from this ticket would be much simpler as
 they'd only need to be changed in one place.

 Such a function should be introduced in a separate ticket though.
 Depending on how urgent this fix here is, we could do it one or the other
 way. It would be a bit easier to have the function first, but it's more
 initial work to set this up, so if we need to have this here in 4.9, we
 can always still create the function later.
